Peter Corlett

March 2001

Although not born in Jericho, Peter became a Jericho person 'by adoption'. When he retired from teaching at St. Edward's School he came to worship at St. Barnabas and developed a great love of Jericho. After a few years he became Churchwarden and he was in that office when the appeal was launched to repair the tower. Peter devoted himself to this project and became 'Clerk of Works'. The restored tower is something of a memorial to him. After retiring from the position of Churchwarden he was elected Chairman of the School Governors and threw himself wholeheartedly into the task giving great support to both staff and pupils. Peter was a man of many talents and great kindness and will be sorely missed.
